She immediately started to communicate with me via WhatsApp which was very helpful and I could speak to over the phone to get updates any time. This was a massive contrast to other lawyers I spoke to in Turkey.

I instantly felt that I could trust her and would recommend her services to anyone. I will be keeping her details very close to hand.

Kubra went above and beyond in every possible way. There were several steps along the way that had to be completed in specific order. She was 100% responsive, always within minutes. She explained everything in perfect detail and advised what would give us the highest probability of success.

She was kind and friendly, but professional. She not only provided the legal assistance we needed, but also helped our stress by feeling like we had a friend in the country who was willing to help.
